Answer: As the gas gets hotter, the molecules gain energy and move farther apart, causing the gas to expand.

If it is heated while it is being compressed or held inside a container as such, the pressure build up while in the container  and the pressure can become so much that the container will burst.

I'm certain it's "D"

...because it can't be "A" or "B" because solubility IS a property but to actually determine whether these two substances are the same or different we would need at least two-three properties (like boiling point or specific heat).

and it can't be "C" because the melting point is just simply irrelevant when comparing the solubility of two substances.

balandron [24]

Answer:

(A) The work done by the system is -101.325J

(B) The workdone by the system is -90.75J

Explanation:

(A) Workdone = -PΔV

Given that A = 100cm2 = 0.01m2

distance d = 10cm = 0.1m

ΔV= Area × distance

ΔV= 0.01 ×0.1

ΔV = 0.001m3

P= external pressure = 1atm = 101325Pa

Workdone = -0.001 × 101325

W= - 101.325Pa m3

1Pam3 = 1J

Therefore W = - 101.325J

The work done on the system is -101.325J

(B) Workdone = -PΔV

Given that A = 50cm2 = 0.005m2

distance d = 15cm = 0.15m

ΔV= Area × distance

ΔV= 0.005×0.15

ΔV = 0.00075m3

P=121kPa = 121000Pa

W= - 121000 × 0.00075

W= -90.75Pa m3

1Pam3 = 1J

W = - 90.75J

The woekdone by the system is -90.75J

How many known elements have atoms, in their ground-state, with valence electrons whose quantum numbers are n = 5 and l = 1?a. 3
Goshia [24]

Answer:

c. 6.

Explanation:

Looking at the description given in the question, the elements involved must belong to the p- block of the periodic table and must be in period 5. They also must possess valence electrons in the 5p- orbital.

Now if we look at the p- block of period 5, the following elements satisfy these  requirements; Sr, In, Sn, Sb, Te and I.

Hence there are six of such elements.

Unit Conversion Help Thank you
AlekseyPX

Answer : 1721.72 g/qt are in 18.2 g/cL

Explanation :

As we are given: 18.2 g/cL

Now we have to convert 18.2 g/cL to g/qt.

Conversions used are:

(1) 1 L = 100 cL

(2) 1 L = 1000 mL

(3) 1 qt = 946 qt

The conversion expression will be:

\frac{18.2g}{1cL}\times \frac{100cL}{1L}\times \frac{1L}{1000mL}\times \frac{946mL}{1qt}

=1721.72\text{ g/qt}

Therefore, 1721.72 g/qt are in 18.2 g/cL

Calculate the heat of reaction, ΔH°rxn, for overall reaction for the production of methane, CH4.
Lesechka [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy of the reaction for the production of CH_4 is coming out to be -74.9 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as \Delta H^o

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(reactant)}]

For the given chemical reaction:

C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CH_4(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(C(s))})+(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2(g))})]

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(C(s))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2)}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{CH_4}=-74.9kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-74.9))]-[1\times 0)+(2\times 0)]\\\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-74.9kJ

Hence, the enthalpy of the reaction for the production of CH_4 is coming out to be -74.9 kJ
